Ratings and reviews

Heartwarming and humorous is absolutely the correct description for this wonderful book. I laughed, I cried, I could not stop reading it. I am also spellbound by the little dachshund. This is such a great book - you should not miss it! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I found this book to be a very enjoyable read with the great character and storyline development that pulled me right in from the very beginning and wouldn't let me go until the very last page was turned!
